Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was only after everyone from the Xu family left that Qian’e realized that she might have gone overboard just now. She had actually beaten up Xu Lan’s biological sister. How was she going to face the Xia family members in the future?
Qian’e stood awkwardly at the door, not knowing if she should go in. Xu Lan could tell what Qian’e was thinking. She smiled and held Qian’e by the hand as she said, “You’re a good kid. Auntie can’t even thank you enough! Qiao Mei has someone by her side who treats her well wholeheartedly, so why will we blame you? From now on, you’re a member of the Xia family. Don’t stand on ceremony with us.”
“Alright!” Qian’e said happily.
The family had a happy meal together again. Qian’e and Qiao Mei decided to sleep in the same room tonight. This was the first time the two of them had done something so chummy.
“Will my brother-in-law be unhappy if he finds out that 1 have slept in this bed?” Qian’e asked with a smile.
“Then let him be jealous!” Qiao Mei said.
“Did 1 go overboard today? I think I scared your grandfather and the others a little. Also, it must have affected the Xia family’s impression of me, but I just couldn’t help myself,” Qian’e said softly.
“My grandfather even praised you for being brave and fearless. He said that you remind him of himself in the past. He made it sound like you’re also his granddaughter. Don’t feel so pressured. Everyone likes you!” Qiao Mei said sincerely.
“That’s good to hear. I have a favor to ask of you. I don’t know if you’ll agree,” Qian’e said.
“You’ve already stood up for us so righteously today. How can I say no to you? Tell me. As long as it’s not against the law or ends up affecting the factory, I can agree to anything,” Qiao Mei said.
“Remember I told you the last time that I bought a siheyuan courtyard house?
The thing is, I’ve taken a fancy to another old house recently! The surroundings are nice and the facing of the house is not bad too. I really want to buy it, but I’m not so familiar with properties. Come with me to take a look,” Qian’e said.
“Then what are we waiting for? Go to sleep now. We’ll go tomorrow. If it’s a nice house, then we shouldn’t wait!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
It had been a long time since she bought a house. If that house was really nice, she could buy one close by to keep Qian’e company.
The next morning, Qiao Mei drove to the old house with Qian’e. This house was located at the foot of a mountain and was surrounded by beautiful scenery. The only thing was that the property had been in disrepair for a long time, but this was fairly normal.
“Oh my, you’re finally here!” the house owner said as he ran out of the courtyard.
“I’m really sorry. We got stuck in a traffic jam and made you wait for so long,” Qian’e said embarrassedly.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! I understand. Come, let’s go into the house and take a look! Let me tell you, this house has very good feng shui! It’s especially beneficial for children who are still studying. There were quite a number of scholars among my ancestors! This house was bestowed by the emperor back then!” the owner said excitedly as he showed them around the house.
Qian’e looked at Qiao Mei resignedly and whispered, “It’s a pity that I can’t have children. Otherwise, I will definitely buy this house immediately.”
“Let’s go in and take a look. No rush,” Qiao Mei said as she patted Qian’e on the shoulder.
The owner led them to the main hall and said, “My ancestors had all lived in this place. The feng Shui here is very good! Those top scholars in my family had all slept in this room at one time or another!”
Qian’e took two steps back out of fear. The layout of the main hall was similar to the one in Qiao Mei t s house. When she thought back to the previous night and about those people who had slept in this room in the past, she could not stop her imagination from running wild.
Qiao Mei smiled discreetly. It was inevitable that one would encounter such problems when buying an old house. It was impossible that a house like that would be left unoccupied for generations and only be used as a storeroom.
“So what’s the lowest price that you can accept?” Qiao Mei asked.
At this moment, two familiar faces appeared at the door. It was Huang Quan and Tan Jing. Qiao Mei looked at the two of them in surprise. She did not expect them to chase her all the way here. What a coincidence.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Huang. I’ve already offered this house to the two of them,” the owner said. Qiao Mei did not expect the ?????? to be so honorable and to stick to a first come, first served basis!
“l really like this house. I wonder if Miss Qiao can be magnanimous enough to let me have it. I intend to make this my matrimonial home,” Huang Quan asked.
“l wonder why Mr. Huang keeps targeting my things. Why do I have to give up the things I favor? I’m a person who can’t bear the pain of giving up anything,” Qiao Mei said..
